tell me: which opponents, and what was ORANGE MAN's reason for wantin' them indicted?

In a phone-in to Fox yesterday, the particular Orange Man I'm referring to told Maria Bartiromo:
“Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we’re gonna get little satisfaction unless I win, and we’ll just have to go, because I won’t forget it. But these people should be indicted; this was the greatest political crime in the history of our country, and that includes Obama, and it includes Biden, these are people that spied on my campaign, and we have everything.”

if intelligence agencies were weaponized against a candidate and president then -- yeah -- mebbe indictments are necessary

not seein' how that qualifies as hitlerian

well, you understand I'm not privy to the investigation, but I know this...

*durham has dug up enough to have congress drag comey back in for questionin'

interestin' how the guy who wrote a whole self-aggrandizin' book about his time with trump couldn't remember one damn thing about nuthin' when he was testifyin'

*brennan's notes show the russia collusion investigation -- already shown to be improperly conducted -- was sanctioned by obama, was promoted by h. clinton, and was founded on a dossier all parties involved knew was horseshit

that is: an investigation that had no business bein' conducted (cuz there was no just cause for it), which involved misleadin' the relevant courts to get the necessary warrants (cuz there was no just cause for it), had the approval of the then president (who's already claimed to not have been involved) and the involvement of the opposin' candidate (who shouldn't have been involved)

but, of course, a well-informed guy like you already knows about all of this, yeah?

anyway: the fat lady ain't sung yet (durham sez he won't release his report till after the election), but it seems to me there was sumthin' under-handed goin' on


How much do you know about Hitler's first four years in power?

enough to know ORANGE MAN ain't him

Yet, from my understanding, the Deep State’s original meaning has to do with the fossil fuel industry's insidiously effective lobbyist manipulation of government.

It would be a large part of the national Capitol’s ‘swamp’ that Trump and his fans claim has corrupted DC and ergo is after his presidency.

So, considering the Trump administration’s kowtowing to big fossil fuel (mostly via the loosening of environmental protections), he seems content with wallowing in it—far from genuinely wishing to “drain the swamp”, as he and his fans claim.
